The ISO I had you download contains the kit install files. That then will
update Creator and it should show your kit. I also think link I gave had
just the kit install file folder......

Creator install, if it installed all kits, would probably be a Terabyte download,
so you install your kit separately, except for a couple of basic kits they include
in the Creator install.

Dana, I don't know how to install my kit. I tried plugging it into the usb of my computer and then clicking refresh--nothing. There must be something simple I have not done.

 

The link I gave you has two files, one the ISO with everything, the other
just the kit install. Use the latter.

So download it, and do the install. Then restart Creator.

Regards, Dana.

 

Ahh! So now I have a functioning capacitive switch--actually three buttons and a 5 part slider.

Now, how do I "burn" or "program" the switch so it will work without PSoC Creator? Stand independently so to speak.

The other board I orders--kit 049 I think--has shipped. I hope I have an easier time with it.

Thanks for your help.

 

There are two icons adjacent in the row with the build buttons.

One is to burn with debug capability. the other w/o. Bug icon is debug, one to
left burn w/o debug. Do a onetime pass over icons hovering for a moment
and they will popup name/function.



Regards, Dana.

 

Well, I think I have burned it. Now I snap off the smaller board with the USB plug one it and save the board in case I ever get good enough to follow the gobbledygook in Cypress pages. After snapping off, I attach 5 volts at the VCDO and GND pins and a header at the output pins of the buttons and slider and use that as a TTL control for something or other?????

I don't think I like this world but I'll give my soon to arrive kit 049 a couple of days.

Many thanks Mentor, Many many.

 

Normally at beginning stages you would not snap off, continue to use that
as a learning bed. But good news is those boards are low cost.

You will see the 049 board component catalog much richer in usable components,
from simple to complex. You will be able to try the state machine wizard, look at
you tube video on creating component symbol, then the one on state machine. With
this you can do a lot w/o writing any code.

Latter the 5LP board has neat stuff like wavedac component. DelSig A/D with
differential input, hi resolution, great for more precision work. Then there is the
digital filter, all done with wizard. There is a great example project doing that,
you can fool around processing simple audio for example.

Good luck, Dana.
